I know it's your friend but most folks doing private sales will meet the seller at HPD to do the transfer, once you get your permit the seller has to sign the back of it.

When you go to apply for your permit to acquire you will need all of the pertinent information about the handgun being purchased, i.e. Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Barrel Length, Caliber, Country of Origin, ect. Probably the easiest thing you can do is bring a copy of the current registration form with you when you go to apply for your permit to acquire.

Hopefully you have not taken possession of the handgun yet have you?

Of course not..lol!!  he still has the revolver.  It's going to be hard to have my friend meet me at HPD.  Our schedules are really off.  So best I have the old permit with me when I apply for the permit to aquire?

It would be helpful to have a copy of his registration (you wrote permit above but I think you mean registration) because it has the required pertinent information for your permit. If not look at a registration paper if you have one and make sure you have all the info. required to complete one for your new handgun.

does the permit to acquire handgun cost money like the 16fitty for long guns?

The 16.50 is a one time only fee for any type of gun registration. Makes no difference if it is pistol or rifle. Once you pay it, you never have to pay it again.

thanks but sorry a bit confused here but i thought the $16.50 fee was for the "permit to purchase long guns" because it requires FBI background checks and fingerprinting etc.  but you are saying that it is for registration?  i thought registration of a purchased gun was free and the "permit to purchase long guns" is what i pay for.... which is why i asked if the permit to purchase handguns also entails a fee of $16.50 .... am i right or wrong?!!??! 

different but related question:
does the hunter's ed "certificate of completion" count as the "notarized affidavit" needed to acquire handgun purchase permit?  I don't recall receiving a notarized document upon completion of the DLNR hunter's ed class besides the certificate of completion and accompanying wallet card.

I have not picked up a handgun in awhile so someone else can confirm this but you should be fine with just your Hunter's Ed card.

yes, you are correct, sir. 

last time at HPD, i asked the officer if you need the registration of the owner to do a private sale
he said no need the registration, just the info on the gun, and the name, address and phone number of the seller.
along with your info
attached is a form I made to do private transfers

Your first permit to acquire (long gun or handgun) will be charged the fee. All subsequent permits will not require the fingerprint fee.

Isn't that what I said?

you referred to gun registration which threw me off because i was wondering about the "permit  to acquire handgun"
but all is good! now i understand that the fee is a fingerprinting fee and that it is only charged upon the first permit to acquire whether it be handgun or long gun ... i needed to know this because i bought my rifle in 2011 but i haven't bought a handgun so i wanted to be familiarized with the process i.e. if i need to bring money and exact change when i get my permit to acquire handgun or renew my permit to acquire long gun
